South Uist Historical Society

About

South Uist Historical Society was founded in 1989 and is based at Kildonan Museum on the Isle of South Uist. Their museum hosts a permanent exhibition relating to the island, much of which is based around items collected by the late Canon John Morrison of Iochdar. The museum has gained registered status with the Museums Association.

Significant photographic archives are held depicting life in South Uist, notably that of Margaret Fay Shaw (1903-2004), folklorist and photographer, to whom the archive room is dedicated.
